One difference in gain staging the T1 and the Classic is that the T1 has a three-stage trim LED. It lights up green when signal is present, yellow when you are getting pretty loud (8 to 10 dB of headroom left), and red when you dangerously close to or at full scale.

Q: Please talk about using the {{T1}} outdoors. Will I be able to see /read the display? A: Should be no problem. The LCD display on the T1 is "transflexive". In dark conditions the blue backlight will shine through the "transmissible" part so everything is easily visible. In bright sunlight, it becomes "reflexive" just like a piece of paper. The backlight may wash out (i.e. it will not look really blue anymore) but it's still clearly visible. <ref>Hilmar-at-Bose talks about the [http://bose.infopop.cc/eve/forums/a/tpc/f/7521050644/m/5031050644?r=4091059454#4091059454 transflexive display on the T1®]</ref>

{{:T1® and Model II Design Team}}
 
In 23 years at Bose, the {{Model II}} and {{T1}} are the most lovingly designed products I have ever had the fortune to work on. More care by more experienced people went into this than anything I've been involved in.
 
The most minute details were studiously created. As one tiny but important example, a propriety light pipe was designed so that the light from volume knob indicators smoothly wrapped around the knob from top to side, giving the musician a clear indication of volume from any angle. The color and intensity of the light was carefully designed so that it was visible in an extraordinarily wide range of stage lighting conditions.
